Yikes! I'm surprised by the number of people who think temp RAM disk for QA testing came from using containers or the cloud. It was actually in use prior to that technology. And, it was popularized in the use of remote PXE installation which required modifications to the OS after the fact.

Where do you see anybody thinking that "came from using containers or the cloud"?
My contribution is correct. I'm not a parrot. Temp RAM disk started in Linux 2.3 (possibly older than that), it didn't come from builds inside containers or instances in the cloud.
